Valeriy Avanesov commented on SPARK-2426:
-----------------------------------------
> what's the normalization constraint ? Each row of W should sum upto 1 and
> each column of H should sum upto 1 with positivity ?
Yes.
> That is similar to PLSA right except that PLSA will have a bi-concave loss...
There's a completely different loss... BTW, we've used a factorisation with the
loss you've described as an initial approximation for PLSA. It gave a
significant speed-up.
> Quadratic Minimization for MLlib ALS
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-2426
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2426
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: MLlib
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Debasish Das
> Assignee: Debasish Das
> Original Estimate: 504h
> Remaining Estimate: 504h
>
> Current ALS supports least squares and nonnegative least squares.
> I presented ADMM and IPM based Quadratic Minimization solvers to be used for
> the following ALS problems:
> 1. ALS with bounds
> 2. ALS with L1 regularization
> 3. ALS with Equality constraint and bounds
> Initial runtime comparisons are presented at Spark Summit.
> http://spark-summit.org/2014/talk/quadratic-programing-solver-for-non-negative-matrix-factorization-with-spark
> Based on Xiangrui's feedback I am currently comparing the ADMM based
> Quadratic Minimization solvers with IPM based QpSolvers and the default
> ALS/NNLS. I will keep updating the runtime comparison results.
> For integration the detailed plan is as follows:
> 1. Add QuadraticMinimizer and Proximal algorithms in mllib.optimization
> 2. Integrate QuadraticMinimizer in mllib ALS
